These island resorts go above and beyond the typical all-inclusive cliches to offer a la carte dining, premium beverages and even experiences as part of the packages
The Maldives’ endless list of luxury resorts means travellers are spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing where to stay in the Maldives. Pretty much all resorts across the island archipelago guarantee ivory white sands, azure waters and blissful relaxation, but with an increasing array of all-inclusive resorts and packages, some now with all meals, premium drinks and even excursions included.
Here are 10 of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives.
OBLU SELECT Sangeli
Distance from airport: 50-minutes by speedboat
In the north-west tip of the Malé Atoll, OBLU SELECT Sangeli has a variety of villa accommodations, including beach and water villas (with or without private pools), as well as villas aimed specifically at families and honeymooners. Restaurants include Simply Veg, a cool and unique gourmet vegetarian spot; Just Grill for fresh seafood and meat; and The Courtyard, which hosts theme nights and live cooking stations in addition to a buffet. Sunsets are best viewed from The Rock bar, the island’s idyllic sundowner stop, and while the resort is geared to be family-friendly, adults can escape to One Banyan, a grownups-only island that also includes a separate pool. The all-inclusive feature means guests can holiday without worrying about an unexpectedly large bill on check out, and the upgraded Serenity Plan also includes two fine-dining experiences, an excursion, complimentary transfers and complimentary daily replenishing of the minibar.
